Hello,
Here is a part of a conversation:
"Do you like your course?"
"Well, the course is all right, though I'm not as interested in History as I thought I was," Jane said.
If I change it into Reported speech:
Sarah asked Jane if she liked her course. Jane said the course was all right, though she was not as interested in History as she had thought/thought she had been/was.
Does using Past Perfect back-to-back in this sentence make sense? Or is it possible to say:"she was not interested in History as she had thought she was"?
Thank you for the time and help.
